favors the prohibition law aud tlt-e following are hisauswers to questions asked liim concerning the result of the prohibition measure ; what effect has the prohibition had in your place on general busiuess v the effect is good - has any trade beeu diverted from your place because it was a dry town v no on tin contrary many visit our town who disliked t visit it while whis key was sold knowing their weakness for it i>itl your colored citizens take any iu terest in carrying the election for or against prohibition t for prohibition and but for their in terest wo should have failed to carry tlie election yes j they all admit that fact now and many of those who-were at first opposed to tha law are now strong iti their sup port of it is there as much or more drunkenness and rowdyism in your town as before your prohibition law passed ?' n thing like so much jar streets were often before prohibition so block ed with drunken men that respectable ladies would not go ou them are your people more or less pros perous-uuder your prohibition law v decidedly more prosperous tlie la borers especially who receive tlieir daily wages and take their money to procure for their families tho necessaries and com forts of life instead of squandering it to liquor-shops as many of them did b_fore prohibition arc there any benefits outside of your town derived from prohibition ?' yes many of our farmers from the country wore in our tow i on tlie day of election to encourage oar people to vote i'm prohitio.i on tlieir account soma of these men are now sober and industrious citizens who formerly drank to excess are prospering as thay never did before they say they do nut lus cither time or motley now on account at whiskey and thesj m * 1 were strongly ia favor of whiskey licsuse at

and it had been what is known as a dry town ever since ; that tlie town iiad steadily improved iti till business relations that trade had large ly increased and property materially ad vauced in value tiie moral tone and character of both the town and surround ing country had very much improved and that it was but seldom that any one was ever seen under the influence of liquor ; that the effects of prohibition had materially diminished the expenses of the government ; that this decrease has more than compensated for tlie loss of the license taxes he said furthermore : after trying prohibition for five year our citizens are more in favor of it now than ever and if an effort should be made to license liquor shops with us it would be voted down by a very large majority y a corresponileat of

discoveries from our regular correspondent washington d c april 22 1831 during the past week tiie national academy of science has held one of its semi-annual sessions in washington and its principal event has been a lecture by the distinguished discoverer prof bell the inventor of the speaking telephone he recited the wonderful facts discovered by him while engaged in experiments for the improvement of the photophone and that a vast number of substances solid liquid and gaseous posse-sea tin's proper ty of emitting sounds upon the falling thereon of intermittent rays of sunlight and that his experiments to measure the emitted sound has resulted in the inven tion ot an instrument styled by him the ; speetrnphnue that the scientists say will prove of iim**-4iiiialÂ»lc value in the field of molecular physics the academicians went wild over live paper at iis conclusion prof rogers said that in consideration of the vastness of the discoveries and their enor mous amplitudes he could not re frain from an expression of his great joy as a scientist thereupon he little an i tieipated such glorious results in view j of this magnificent contribution to the academy by its honored guest professor j bell he suggested that a vole of thauks be returned to the great inventor and it was so order by a unanimous vote prof bell read his paper reciting the great facts recently discovered by him with the co-opperalion of his associate i prof taialer lie illustrated his remarks ; with diagrams the following abstract i of his paper gives the essential facts he had previously ascertained that thin disks of very many different substances emitted sounds when exposed ton rapidly j intercepted beam of sunlight he ihen | ascertained that sonorousness was under the influence of

bodies like crystals he nest found that the dnrkesl shad s produced the best effect black worsted especially j then he tried lamp-black a teaspoon j ful of lamp-black was placed in a test tube and

conditions that remarkably in fluence the intensity of the sonorous ef fects the loudest sounds are produced from substances in a loose porous spongy condition aud from those that have the daikest or most absorbent colors he had not as yet found one solid body that failed to become sonorous under proper conditions of experiment the deduction from these experiments is that sonorousness is under the direct action of intermittent stiuligl.t a univer sal property of matter prof bell made lhe gratifying stato i ment that his experimental examinations were stiil iu their infancy and that there as no telling what great results might be developed iu the fat it re s a reader of the philadelphia press pokes fun at the editor of that paper by asking why can't the majority rule i must admit ny he i do

strong iti their sup port of it is there as much or more drunkenness and rowdyism in your town as before your prohibition law passed ?' n thing like so much jar streets were often before prohibition

receive tlieir daily wages and take their money to procure for their families tho necessaries and com forts of life instead of squandering it to liquor-shops as many of them did b_fore prohibition arc there any benefits outside of your town derived from prohibition ?' yes many of our farmers from the country wore in our tow i on tlie day of election to encourage oar people to vote i'm prohitio.i on

prohibition lie replied that his town voted for prohibition four or five year since and it had been what is known as a dry town ever since ; that tlie town iiad steadily improved iti till business relations that trade had large ly increased and property materially ad vauced in value tiie moral tone and character of both the town and surround ing country had very much improved and that it was but seldom that any one was ever seen under the influence of liquor ; that the effects of prohibition had materially diminished the expenses of the government ; that this decrease has more than compensated for tlie loss of the license taxes he said furthermore : after trying prohibition for five year our citizens are more in favor of it now than ever and if an effort should be made to license liquor shops with us it would be voted down by a very large majority y a corresponileat of the new york times writing from caracas tells of a land witli 32,23 generals we feel very glad there

academy of science has held one of its semi-annual sessions in washington and its principal event has been a lecture by the distinguished discoverer prof bell the inventor of the speaking telephone he recited the wonderful facts discovered by him while engaged in experiments for the improvement of the photophone and that a vast number of substances solid liquid and gaseous posse-sea tin's proper ty of emitting sounds upon the falling thereon of intermittent rays of sunlight and that his experiments to measure the emitted sound has resulted in the inven tion ot an instrument styled by him the ; speetrnphnue that the scientists say will prove of iim**-4iiiialÂ»lc value in the field of molecular physics the academicians went wild over live paper at iis conclusion prof rogers said that in consideration of the vastness of the discoveries and their enor mous amplitudes he could not re frain from an expression of his great joy as a scientist thereupon he little an i tieipated such glorious results in view j of this magnificent contribution to the academy by its honored guest professor j bell he suggested that a vole of thauks be returned to the great inventor and it was so order by a unanimous vote prof bell read his paper reciting the great facts recently discovered by him with the co-opperalion of his associate i prof taialer lie illustrated his remarks ; with

the sensitive materials in the case of solid the physical condition and the col or are two conditions that remarkably in fluence the intensity of the sonorous ef fects the loudest sounds are produced from substances in a loose porous spongy condition aud from those that have the daikest or most absorbent colors he had not as yet found one solid body that failed to become sonorous under proper conditions of experiment the deduction from these experiments is that sonorousness is under the direct action of intermittent stiuligl.t a univer sal property of matter prof bell made lhe gratifying
